These are just some pics of a fun day that we all had at the park a couple of weeks ago. We went out for some ice-cream and then just played at the park. Love it! :o)
And just to post some more pics. Jaxon has been so silly. He found our duster and likes to "ride" it around our apt.
I love this kid. He is a constant source of entertainment! :o)
Jaxon loves to play on the piano and crawls up onto the little bench to just sit and play everyday.
I can't wait until he's a little older to get him playing for real! :o)
Yes, it took Canada Day to get me out of blogging hibernation. :o) Sorry for the long delay in posts. We've been busy trying to figure out our housing for next year and then packing up our place to get ready to move. But, well, we are still here and enjoying Ohio. Jack has been super busy with a short semester to get through. He's already doing finals next week and has been working very hard. Jaxon and I have been enjoying the good weather and just hanging out. Here are some pics of us at Stearns Farm which is just down the street from us.
It was cool to get really close to a lot of the animals.
This particular turkey did not really like visitors. If you look close, you can see how puffed up he is and he was squawking like crazy.
Jaxon has no fear though. He was sticking his fingers into all the animals faces.
I was lucky he didn't get bit. :o) Jaxon loved chasing the ducks.
This is the face he was making as he was chasing them. Some of my freshman roomies may remember this look. :o)
We sure had a lot of fun that day. But very sad that Jack had to miss it. :o(
Here are just some more things we did while Jack was on break. He has started back up again and looking at these pictures makes me miss the break we had with him even more, but he's already starting off the new term great getting an A on the first midterm he just took today. Yeeeah Jack!
We got to go swimming with some friends and I love these great shots with our camera.
Jaxon didn't love the water at first, but I'm glad he warmed up to it.
I love my boys in their shades. They look so cute!!
We also got to go to a parade for Memorial Day. Jaxon's FIRST parade. I was sooo excited. Jaxon was sooo cute when they gave him a little American flag. He waved it like crazy!
Jaxon also got pretty excited when all the cop cars and fire trucks drove by. It was fun to get some candy too. :o)
He was a little distracted when the fire trucks came by...
Thanks for the fun time everyone!
We had another fun couple of days during Jack's break and went to Niagara Falls with some of our good friends from Michigan. Thanks Rachel and Chris for such a fun time!
It was only a 4 hour drive to Niagara Falls from our place and Jaxon did pretty well in the car.
Our very first view of the falls.
Jaxon's first view of the Falls.
Exploring around Niagara Falls.
The area around the Falls (Clifton Hill) was kind of "Vegas" like to us, with lots of attractions, TONS of haunted houses and wax museums and lots of lights, food, and sounds. It was fun walking around.
We got to do a couple of the Niagara Falls Experience type things too. Our favorite by far was the Maid of the Mist boat ride. In the picture below, you can see how close these boats get to the falls.
Here's us getting ready to board the boat. I was impressed they even had little kid size rain ponchos for Jaxon.
Unfortunately, the rain ponchos didn't do much to keep the spray of the falls off of us and we ended up getting soaked. You can barely see Jack and Chris behind all the other tourists in the spray of the falls.
But it was pretty cool to get so close to the falls.
We also did the Walk Behind the Falls.
All in all, it was a FABULOUS vacation. What a fun get away that really wasn't too far away. We got to enjoy some good food and great weather too. Sorry for all the pictures, but if you didn't get enough, we have more here. :o)
